Horribly downhill for years

Pros

Nothing. Pay rates dropped, clients became sparse at best.

Cons

4 weeks to payouts - this is MENTAL! For all we know they're playing with our money for an entire month stuffing their pockets instead of doing hard negotiations with their big clients for better rates and cutting proverbial freelance staff to aid in increasing pay rates.

Pros

The company works with really big partners (YouTube, Amazon, Uber, etc.) on large scale projects, so there is always a lot of excitement around releases and launches. Since we create a visible product (photos, videos, etc.) it is neat to see the finished work in the wild. Love that we are "growing the pie" for filmmakers and photographers; these are projects that wouldn't be available without our tools and partnerships. The company is bootstrapped which means we all have a lot of ownership and responsibility in our success. It creates a very entrepreneurial atmosphere in solving problems and growing the business. Fantastic work/life balance for a company of its size.

Cons

I love roller-coasters, but some folks wouldn't like highs and lows that most start-ups experience.
